Looking at the options that are set on the geocoding call (https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-geocoder/blob/master/lib/index.js#L58), there are several defaults that could be configured to provide a better out-of-the box search experience.

Specifically, I think good improvements could be found with:

  • setting trackProximity to default true -- searches with a user-relevant proximity are likely to be more relevant
  • setting a default language based on the user's browser settings

I suspect this may change user's expectations and/or be a breaking change -- so we could target this for the next major release.

I think these are positive changes.
